Selkup is the group of

Yenisei Rivers (in Siberia). The language name Selkup comes from the Russian селькуп, based on the native name used in the Taz dialect, шӧльӄумыт әты (šöľqumyt əty lit.'forest-man language'). Different dialects
use different names.

Selkup is fractured in an extensive

Ket dialect (кетский диалект, ketsky dialekt). It is not related to the Ket language
.
